This blog won't reduce scoptophilia to its moral majority definition of "watching others engaging in sexual activity" neither to its Freudian definition of "someone taking pleasure in submitting others to the control of his/her look", but will use it in its Greek acception: "the love of looking". Moralists and Psychoanalysts keep away.

Robert Hutinski - Recognition

Robert Hutinski is a Slovenian photographer born in 1969 and who has now quite a large body of work and a real recognition (nothing to do with the actual title of this series) in his country. He's not confined to one style and alternates realistic and symbolic pictures. Here a series from the latter genre. There's of course a lot of influences in these scenographies and this blurred visual, but this is one of the best I ever saw. Based on some elemental feeling of sorrow (melancholia, solitude) and less clear formulations (little bitch, prophecy), it's a consistent and haunting series fitting perfectly with some inner states on deleterious lone evenings. One of them tonight so this is relevant to post it. His site here and his flickr gallery there.
